This acclaimed Japanese film has also secured distribution in France, Spain, Brazil, South Korea, and many other territories worldwide. "All the Lovers in the Night" is set to open in Japan on November 13. Director Sode noted her focus was on portraying a woman's evolving daily life after falling in love, rather than solely the romance itself.
